Hard forks don't require any particular adoption percentage (unlike soft forks). The network simply splits in two chains. If one of the chains is obviously weaker, it usually dies quickly, as it's no longer economically viable. In

I disagree. The ability to reach consensus within a community does not necessarily imply centralization.

The quote was slightly off, apologies. I was quoting from memory, this was 3 years ago, and I can no longer edit the parent post. What he actually said was more like (translation): "Only someone who does not know how to turn on the com

A couple of examples from the first minute of the video: - A ridiculous example of "electronic voting" is presented - voters download ballot papers, fill them, then email or fax them back. This obviously sucks in multiple ways. Th

That YouTube video is full of logical fallacies and wrong claims. And even if such a verification is impossible, I don't think we should reject incremental improvements just because the result is not yet perfect.

He is a professor in Mathematics, and is often invited in popular TV shows as a supposed "expert" on elections, software, and politics in general.

I remember the CEO of Information Services JSC (the de-facto Bulgarian monopolist in governement software procurement), prof. Mihail Konstantinov, making the ridiculous claim on TV that "We can't release the source code of the ele

Yes, a soft fork means consensus (majority) among miners. The developers (of Geth, Parity, cpp-ethereum, etc.) can propose the changes, but it's up to the miners whether to adopt them. Note that the Ethereum mining community is conside

FUD article. No (soft/hard) fork will happen without community consensus. Decentralization is not violated.

This is 9 years old. Linus has been happily writing C++ for some time now. For example: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/commit/56ed3f1c6119b9...

It's not "proposed" in any relevant standards body, which is why this is also misleading.

The title is misleading. This isn't "proposed" in any relevant standards body. The project itself has a misleading name too, because it's not "standard" in any meaningful way, it's just a set of questionab

Because: 1) Bluebird is orders of magnitude faster and more memory-efficient than the current V8 native promises. Better native promises performance has been promised, but we are still waiting for it. 2) Bluebird is just as much standard-co

Comparing the two is completely meaningless. Ethereum's hash function (Ethash) is orders of magnitude more expensive than Bitcoin's SHA256. And also, it is ASIC-resistant.

Node.js Stable tries to follow the V8 version from latest stable Chrome quite closely (i.e. soon after the corresponding Chrome release), but occasionally a V8 version may be skipped, e.g. if it has problematic API changes. Node.js LTS bran
